Insulin Aspart (NovoLog) vs Insulin Lispro (Humalog)

An educational, source-based comparison of Insulin Aspart (NovoLog) and Insulin Lispro (Humalog) — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.

Insulin Analog · Endocrine
Insulin Aspart (NovoLog)

Rapid-acting mealtime insulin analog.

Mechanism

Recombinant insulin analog with proline→aspartic acid at B28, reducing hexamer stability for rapid absorption and prandial glucose control.

Research areas
  • Prandial coverage
  • CSII pump therapy
  • Inpatient glycemic management
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Hypoglycemia is the principal risk.

Insulin Analog · Endocrine
Insulin Lispro (Humalog)

Rapid-acting mealtime insulin analog.

Mechanism

Recombinant insulin analog with reversed lysine and proline at B28/B29, reducing self-association so it acts within ~15 minutes for postprandial glucose control.

Research areas
  • Prandial coverage in T1D/T2D
  • Insulin pump therapy
  • Hyperglycemic crises (with caution)
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Hypoglycemia risk if meal delayed or skipped.
